This story now has more words than my first Uncharted retelling and there's still at least ten more chapters to go! This chapter's a little short, but now that the big flashback's over, things are gonna take a major turn.
Disclaimer: I own nothing has to do with Uncharted or Gravity Falls.
Chapter 15: Train-wrecked
(Dipper sat there in the snow against the train car holding his wound and looking at the Phurba dagger. After getting out of the wrecked train cars hanging off the cliff, he took a moment to rest and reflect on the events that led to this situation.)
Dipper: (depressed) Sure… be the hero… rescue Wendy... Brilliant… Oh, what was I thinkin'?
(He heard noises from up the cliff. He looked around the corner of the car and saw two military trucks arrive at the crash site. Several soldiers get out and start searching the area. He knew Ivan sent them to recover the dagger and confirm his death.)
Dipper: Oh, come on. How 'bout a break?
(As the soldiers get closer to him, he puts the dagger away and pulls out his gun.)
Dipper: (sighs) Here we go…
(One soldier turns the corner and Dipper ambushes him. The others hear it and try to close in on him.)
Dipper: (mutters) Gotta be a big hero, don'tcha? (sighs) Stupid.
(He rushes over to another wrecked train car as fast as he can and the soldiers shoot in his direction.)
Dipper: Bring it on!
(He fires back and takes a couple of them down. More try to surround him by circling around the car on both sides. He then climbs up the car to get away.)
Dipper: Oh, man, I'm so tired of climbing shit.
(He gets a better vantage point on his enemies and keeps dropping them. More soldiers enter the area.)
Dipper: The more the merrier!
(He takes an assault rifle from one of them and shoots at a big gas tank on a train car near the ones coming at him. The tank explodes and kills most of them. Dipper keeps hitting the ones remaining until they're all gone. He throws the gun down and breathes heavily. Then he looks around and sees a train car leaning up against a hill.)
Dipper: I can get out over there.
(He goes over to the car still wincing in pain.)
Dipper: I'm either gonna bleed out or I'm gonna climb out.
(He climbs up the car and up onto a snowy terrain. He holds his bullet wound and starts to slowly walk away from the wreckage.)
Dipper: (shivering) Ah, shit, it's cold. Shouda brought a jacket.
(He wanders through the blizzard for a while before collapsing in the snow. He tries to stand but gives up. He crawls through the snow a little before stopping. He looks up and sees a figure some dozen yards away. The figure walks towards him as his vision gets blurry. Dipper passes out as the figure approaches him.)
A new section of the story is about to start. New characters will be introduced and there'll be a big break from the action.
